and on the defense of marriage act, which bill clinton signed in 1996, bill clinton now says it was a mistake. he regrets signing that legislation. and we all hope that the supreme court justices agree with him. in other news, over in afghanistan, john kerry and president hamid karzai meet, bury the hatchet and reduce tensions between the two countries and tiger woods is back as the nation's number one golfer. boy, that's just some of what we'll be talking about right here on current tv. going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. you know who is coming on to me now? you know the kind of guys that do reverse mortgage commercials? those types are coming on to me all the time
